Protein Balls

Flavorful
Description

Protein balls are a wonderful snack to have on hand—each ball is low in sugar and clocks in at under 100 calories. However, you can also eat them as a wholesome dessert or as a sweet finish to a high-protein breakfast. You could also eat one alongside your favorite protein bar, or enjoy a couple in place of a protein bar before or after a workout.

Ingredients
  • 1-1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup vanilla or chocolate protein powder
  • 1/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
  1. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm enough to roll. Shape into 1-1/2-in. balls. Store in the refrigerator.

Fresh Ricotta Ice Cream

Just by looking at the ingredients in this recipe I was intrigued. I was imagining the taste of a cannoli, and after making the recipe I was not disappointed. The ricotta taste really came through, while the addition of the heavy cream made it smooth and rich. I really enjoyed the hint of lemon -- it was just enough. It was also super easy putting all of the ingredients together. I give it 3 thumbs up: 1 for me, 1 for my husband and 1 for my son!
